Rampen Langdysse is one of the largest megalithic long barrows at a length of 125m. The width varies from 9 to 17m (in the Southwest). Clear height is 2m. Orientation approximately SW-NE.
Like at most megalithic sites stones were robbed for other purposes in historic times. In this case the barrow unfortunately lost almost all kerbstones. Several eroded pits and ditches besides the remaining earthwork mark the original positions of some kerbstones. The impressive earthwork is comparatively well preserved except for the western end. Obviously a megalithic chamber was removed here. Luckily the stone robbers did not expect another chamber. When the site was examined in 1912 by H.Friis, a perfectly preserved rectangular dolmen chamber was discovered inside barrows' eastern part. The entrance is facing SE.
To get an idea of sites original appearance: The magnificent “Grønsalen Langdysse” (length 102m) is smaller, but has preserved the kerbstones.
Access remarks:
In 1990 it was necessary to walk along a field edge to reach the site.
